Treen Lake is a lake in Snohomish County, Washington and covers about 1.24 acres.
On a water as small as Treen Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Treen Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the start of a weather change near a quiet corner while the water is rising, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a low-light period near a creek-side turn before changing depth, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a careful second pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change away from empty shoreline, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near a shallow shelf away from empty shoreline, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
How to Read the Water
During a careful second pass near the mouth of a pocket before changing areas, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
While using a simple two-depth check near the mouth of a pocket with a moving bait, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
A Simple Tackle Plan
During a careful second pass near a shallow shelf before changing depth, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During the final pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change with light wind, record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
